Today’s spotlight: Tara Grenier, IIDA

Principal

Orcutt | Winslow

Background: Grenier was instrumental in Orcutt | Winslow’s expansion into Texas as well as a new $750 million joint venture opportunity that lead to a more focused value proposition within the firm, program management.  As a principal at Orcutt |Winslow, Grenier remains committed in orchestrating design leadership with her clients in Arizona and Texas. She enjoys her role as one of the three women in leadership as a pioneer in office culture, employee engagement and operational efficiencies.

Professional advice: “The same things my dad wrote to me in a letter when I got my first job out of college that I have always tried to uphold …WORK HARD, show up to a meeting on time (early is better), be kind and respectful to people… it builds trust, be a good team player, have good ethics, look your best – always wear a smile, don’t be afraid to try new things, bring donuts to the office every now and then, and always take some time for yourself.”

Lesson learned in 2020: “Practice Patience – things happen in their right time.”

Surprising fact: “I was originally recruited to ASU to play the flute in the marching band. I ultimately decided to attend ASU, not for the band program, but because they ranked in the Top 3 for interior design programs in the U.S.”
